Set Clip Length:


was the questionnaire which is the fitness that they conducted in the fourth part is the interview with john mccain himself. so what john mccain and sarah palin said to each other is unknown to me. it's known to them.

the lobbyists who wrote it, but the american workers and small businesses who deserve it. unlike john mccain, i will stop giving tax breaks to corporations that ship jobs overseas, and i will start giving them to companies that create good jobs right here in america. [cheers and applause] i will eliminate capital gains taxes for the small businesses and the start-ups that will create the high-wage, high-tech jobs of tomorrow. i will cut taxes - cut taxes - for 95% of all working families. the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle-class. and for the sake of our economy, our security, and the future of our planet, i will set a clear goal as president: in ten years, we will finally end our dependence on oil from the middle east. [cheers and applause] we will do this. washington's been talking about our oil addiction for the last thirty years, and john mccain has been there for twenty-six of them. tothat time, he's said no higher fuel-efficiency standards for cars, no to investments in renewable energy, no to renewable fuels. and today, we import triple the amount of oil as the day t

man has faced barack obama in a presidential campaign. we'll talk to sensor john mccain on the election and his effort to prevent steep defense cuts. capitol gains is back after the break. . >> you're watching capitol gains i'm peter cook. what matters most in washington right now the election of course. the $1.2 trillions in spending cuts at the end of the year that will be triggered without a budget deal. john mccain is a veteran of the campaign trail. i spoke with him and asked about his efforts to avoid the fiscal clip. >> everybody knows what the solution is. and that's set some goals. everybody knows that's the template for what we need to do. but nobody's ready to step forward so far. and i say as a partisan it does require some presidential leadership. the president's made it very clear that everything is going to be settled in docker after the election. those of us who have been around this town lame duck sessions don't do well. in fact they're usually disastrous. the only thing i think may happen. and i'm not an expert on this. but the markets may react as we g

of the most difficult moments. chris: a great john mccain at that moment. >> he had been flirting a little bit with the dark side. things were getting desperate in the campaign. he saw this kind of irrational anger that was coming out of republican audiences. he just couldn't go there. it was a moment of real honor. >> during the course of that election just after john mccain lost and he gave that extraordinary speech, do you remember in phoenix, a very gracious speech, the concession speech. i remember republicans saying that should have been the john mccain who ran. it was the same john mccain who took that microphone back and corrected the lady. [ female announcer ] now you don't have to give up. you can give in with dreyer's slow churned light ice cream. we churn it slowly for all the rich and creamy taste with just half the fat. so now you can have your ice cream and it eat it, too. you can give in with dreyer's slow churned light ice cream. we churn it slowly for all the rich and creamy taste with just half the fat. so now you can have your ice cream and it eat it, too. chris: welcome ba

where this morning republican presidential candidate john mccain introduced the world to his third wife. actually, no, wait, i'm sorry, that's his running mate, sarah palin, the freshman governor of alaska and star and producer of the emmy winning "30 rock." no, i'm sorry -- the star of the emmy winning "will & grace." no, i'm sorry, it's actually the mild-mannered yet troubled librarian from every cinemax movie. obviously. >> i'm up late. >> jon: so obviously, senator john mccain has made an enormous amount over barack obama's lack of experience. which seems curious that the 72-year-old four to five time face-cancer guy would choose a running mate whose resume appears to be more suited for a "northern exposure" reunion show. i don't know why that would be, so let's find out from governor palin. why? >> and, of course, senator hillary clinton, who showed such determination and grace in her presidential campaign. but it turns out the women of america aren't finished yet, and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all. >> jon: yes. yes, i think something just shattered. whoa. obvi

. [applause] now let there be no doubt. the republican nominee, john mccain, has worn the uniform of our country with bravery and distinction, and for that we owe him our gratitude and respect. and next week, we'll also hear about those occasions when he's broken with his party as evidence that he can deliver the change that we need. but the record's clear: john mccain has voted with george bush ninety percent of the time. senator mccain likes to talk about judgment, but really, what does it say about your judgment when you think george bush has been right more than ninety percent of the time? i don't know about you, but i'm not ready to take a ten percent chance on change. the truth is, on issue after issue that would make a difference in your lives - on health care and education and the economy - senator mccain has been anything but independent. he said that our economy has made "great progress" under this president. he said that the fundamentals of the economy are strong. and when one of his chief advisors - the man who wrote his economic plan - was talking about the anxiety americans

there be no doubt, the republican nominee, john mccain, has worn the uniform of our country with bravery and distinction, and for that we owe him our gratitude and our respect. [applause] and next week we'll also hear about those occasions when he's broken with his party as evidence that he can deliver the change that we need. but the record's clear -- john mccain has voted with george bush 90% of the time. senator mccain likes to talk about judgment, but really, what does it say about your judgment when you think george bush has been right more than 90% of the time? [cheers and applause] i don't know about you, but i'm not ready to take a 10% chance on change. [cheers and applause] the truth is on issue after issue that would make a difference in your life on health care and education and the economy, senator mccain has been anything but independent. he said that our economy has made great progress under this president. he said that the fundamentals of the economy are strong. and when one of his chief advisors, the man who wrote his economic plan, was talking about the anxieties that am

, maybe i didn't run a good enough campaign. maybe i wasn't strong enough. john mccain enters the no spin zone to talk about the personal toll of a presidential campaign. what it's like running against president obama and his relationship with sarah palin. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone, the factor begins right now. hi, i'm monica crowley in for bill o'reilly. thanks so much for watching us tonight. let's get right it to our top story this evening. are you better off than you were four years ago. that question, of course, made famous by ronald reagan in 1980 has taken center stage in the to 12 presidential election. it's become a campaign corner stone for the romney ryan ticket. but the obama camp is struggling it to articulate a unified response. >> david, can you honestly say that the average american is better off today than they were four years ago? here is what i can say, chris, i can say we are in a better position than we were four years ago in our economy in the sense that when this president took office we were losing 800,000 jobs a month. >> you can honestly sa

that race. do you remember how john mccain won the presidential nomination? during the primaries in 2007, john mccain's campaign in the primaries just bottomed out. it was over. he laid off dozens of staff members. his fundraising collapsed. what was left of the campaign ordered up a recovery plan called living off the land, a plan for financial viability. it called for mccain to scramble for the free press for looking good in new hampshire where the campaign would work the press to convince reporters that john mccain was still in it. so reporters would write stories saying he was still in it. so he would seem like he was still in it when it was really all made up. but it worked. john mccain won in new hampshire. then he rolled out victories in virginia and kansas and on and on and he was back and john mccain won the the nomination after having been declared gone the previous summer. in the 2008 republican primaries, john mccain was a phoenix that rose from the ashes of the campaign he previously burned down. he came back from somewhere much worse than where romney is right now. at least

the nation's capitol we have complete analysis coming up. my one on one with senator john mccain and top lawmakeros both sides of the aisles. members of the intelligence services and foreign affairs committee. america's news headquarters starts right now. >> we begin with new information on the investigation of murders of four americans in libya. national security correspondent jennifer griffin is live with those details . what can you tell us? >> an f.b.i. team assign to the murder of ambassador chris stevens and three others is lookking into whether the group of 100 attackers had inside help from the private security contractors whom the state department had hire to guard inside of the benghazi conflict. susan collins asked the national counter terrorism the question in a committee hearing this week. the state department hired blue mountain group out of wales to vet and hire locall guards. the contract was worth half a million dollars. indications that the local guards may have been casing the consulate were posted on a gaming website who said assuming we don't die tonight. one of our

four years later. >> if john mccain and governor palin can stand up there and attack barack obama and use false attacks on us we are going to call them on it. this is politics. it's time that john mccain and sarah palin start telling the truth. this has to do with john mccain the campaign hypocrisy on women. they are having a false offense onning putting lipstick on a big when john mccain doesn't stand for equal pie for women doesn't stand for children's health insurance thinks the economy is going fine where millions of children are going without healthcare. where is the offense of that? that is where the american people are offended by that. >> sound familiar? mitt romney and his wife receiving the attacks over women's issues having no issue of the former employers like ted kennedy and john kerry cutter led a crusade against president kennedy and mitt romney's wealth claiming he has broken the law. >> either mitt romney through his own worth and signature was misrepresenting his position to the fcc which is a felony or he was misrepresenting his position at bane to the american

. [applause] now, now, let me -- let there be no doubt. the republican nominee, john mccain, has worn the uniform of our country with bravery and distinction, and for that we owe him our gratitude and our respect. [applause] and next week, we'll also hear about those occasions when he's broken with his party as evidence that he can deliver the change that we need. but the record's clear. john mccain has voted with george bush 90% of the time. senator mccain likes to talk about judgment, but, really, what does it say about your judgment when you think george bush has been right more than 90% of the time? [applause] i don't know about you, but i am not ready to take a 10% chance on change. [applause] the truth is, on issue after issue that would make a difference in your lives -- on health care, and education, and the economy -- senator mccain has been anything but independent. he said that our economy has made great progress under this president. he said that the fundamentals of the economy are strong. and when one of his chief advisers, the man who wrote his economic plan, was talking

where americans declared him the winner over john mccain each time. you make your opponent out to be unbeatable, regardless of what is said, you can declare a victory of sorts. >> how are the candidates getting ready for the weekend? >> reporter: there is going to be a lot of studying going this weekend, mitt romney is going back to boston, actually you might remember he has been getting ready with rob portman, playing the role of president obama and portman took on the task of playing obama in 2008, helped john mccain during that time to prepare for the debates. mitt romney is using john kerry as a stand in, rather obama is using john kerry as a stand in and kerry has practice from his run in 2004. on sunday, obama is going to nevada where he is going to be practicing for the final three days. >> torey dunnan, live in washington, keeping an eye on the debate prep for us. in political news, throwing back a cold one may provide an insight in to how you will vote. the type maybe an indicater of your views. the study published claims republicans are more drawn to sam adams as far

presidential pick was sarah palin, a huge improvement for john mccain's numbers. and the final poll suggests she wasn't that positive for john mccain. yeah, there is a risk for mitt romney. down in tampa, everybody was speaking about the next generation within the republican party. they were speaking about paul ryan more than mitt romney. chris: we're among the greats right here. when we come back, "scoops and predictions" write from the notebooks of these top reporters. tell me something i chris: welcome back. john, tell me something i don't know. >> get back to joe biden in this debate with paul ryan. when biden debated palin, the big thing was the expectations were so high. we thought he was going to kill her. he had to worry about being condescending for her. it was a challenge for him. this is a new debate. he relishes the notion. he is the underdog. it goes back to the time when he didn't think he could beat bob bjork. he declined his clock. >> katy. >> there was the video on the life of mitt romney. it was incredibly touching, lovely pictures of ann and how they got married. most succ

mitt romney lacks is a compelling story. john mccain had a compelling story. barack obama has a compelling story. mitt romney's story of growing up in a life of privilege, going to prep school where he cut off another kid's hair -- you know, starting a business that became a successful business, that is the story. if we can find enough rouge -- >> john mccain had a war story. >> mitt romney was a rich kid with a lot of connections. >> mitt romney clearly has trouble talking about himself. not about his success in business, but himself, the personal stuff. so, as we said, bring out mrs. romney and friends. >> storybook marriage? not at all. what mitt romney and i have is a real marriage. [applause] >> as we say endlessly, mitt romney seems to be uncomfortable talking about himself in public. he will talk numbers all day long. talk about the salt lake city olympics, but he has a hard time getting people to look at the man inside the biography. in any other profession, that would be an attractive trade, but in modern politics, it is deemed a failure. what did ann romney tell you

had paul ryan there. he had to reassure the bases john mccain was trying. he also has this deficit of people who don't know him. he has been out there a good six years and still a big chunk of folks in surveys say they don't know mitt romney, even those ready to vote for him, to vote for an alternative to barack obama, and he did do a good job of making obama the center of attention, a referendum on obama. we know now especially now that medicare is on the table this is no longer a referendum on obama, it is a comparison. if obama hasn't done the job can mitt romney do the job any better? he did not make that case. people are saying he is well organized, a nice guy, still kind of comes off like i.e. makes don draper look like elton john, you know? he helped that image and his wife really helped him. >> mitt romney talks about his experience starting bain and the companies bain capital invested in. >> some of the companies we helped start you know and have heard from tonight. an office company called staples where i'm pleased to see the obama campaign has been shopping. [ applause ]

like john mccain said bonn from a plumber that question president obama >>> john mccain alluded to joe the plumber and that barack obama would share the wealth >>> that give matt cain a boost in the polls but as matt cain learned even a memorable debate moment carries a candid only so far. the live audience for the first debate expected to be about 60 million people, half the number expected to vote in the election. chip reid cbs news >>> a look of the debate scheduled the first to bed wednesday in denver, on october 11th vice-president biden and paul ryan will lock horns in danville, kentucky, then two more presidential debates and hampstead new york and boca raton florida. a new poll shows proposition 38 that would earmark funds for schools appears to be headed for defeat an l.a. times poll shows 34 percent of voters favored the tax 52% oppose it it will affect most californians the measures wealthy backer has spent $30 million on the campaign. a competing measure supported by gov. brown will raise taxes only on the wealthy doing better, proposition 30 supported by 35 percent of vote

. the republicans hark ens back to this guy john mccain is much more interested in what it is saying about us guys, americans. he was kind enough to join us right now. i knew you knew the ambassador very, very well. your thoughts right now? >> he was a lovely man. he loved his country. he served in a diplomatic war. he went to benghazi while the fight was still going on. came in on a cargo airplane and lived in constant danger until it was over. he moved to tripoli and set up our embassy there which was very rude amount terry. the libyan people liked and admired him. i can't tell you what a wonderful man he was, and i had the opportunity to spend time with him, including the day of the libyan election when hundreds of thousands of libyans celebrated and by the way elected a very moderate government. i can't tell you how sad and how much we mourn for his family. there is also sean smith and two others who have not been identified yet who also were sacrificed. >> you know senator the timing is weird and tashing this to rage over a movie on mohammed is weird. what do you think? >> i think it is impor

developments to those. senator john mccain, for whatever reason to stay irrespective of whichever party on november 6, he seems to see the striking possibility the fiscal cliff will be resolved the matter which man is elected. john mccain taking note governor romney has high unfavorables. how much more support like this can governor romney stand? >> the people who lose elections tend to offer some advice to the people in the subsequent cycle. look, here's the deal, fiscal cliff will be dealt with. how is a big question. even if we dealt retroactively have to wonder about the uncertainty. how that affects business and investments between now and january. the other thing is who wins have a great deal of influence on what the resolution will be. senator mccain is certainly right there will be something done, but what? it depends on what happens, it is true in the largest sense but senator mccain is not in an ideal position to offer advice to his follow-on as republican nominee. lou: we might even add unsolicited. as we look at what is happening here though, governor rahn emanuel is not any

an utter disaster and a lehman moment, a parallel to the moment when john mccain failed to come across as a steady leader. here is what nicholas burns told andrea mitchell. >> i was frankly very disappointed and dismayed to see governor romney inject politics into this very difficult situation. governor romney has n a very unwise way, injected himself in a situation where he clearly doesn't have all the facts. >> romney's statement did earn him this praise. >> today romney is the only guy looking presidential. romney is the only guy who looks like he understands what went wrong, what went right, and what shouldn't be happening now. he looks like he's the only adult in the room. >> republican congressional leadership chose not to join romney and instead chose to honor the dead. >> we honor the americans we lost in libya and we will stand united in our response. >> i'm going to ask that you all join me in a moment of silence. in tribute to ambassador stevens. >> joining me now, msmbc's john hiel man and washington editor at large for the atlantic, steve clemons. joy when your biggest fan

the alabaster musketeers showed that they were ready for the fight. >> you know, john mccain is my friend. >> the republicans in a few days will nominate a good man. he's served our country heroically. >> i've known and been friends with john mccain for almost 22 years. >> [bleep] on him without reservation, without qualification. what are you doing? may i offer you a sentence you will not hear at the republican convention? barack obama is heroic and american. >> let's compare senator mccain to candidate mccain. candidate mccain criticizes senator mccain's own climate change bill. candidate mccain says he would vote against the immigration bill that senator mccain wrote. >> yes! that's the stuff! who is this? who is this fast-talking, concise person? senator kerry. i wonder how senator kerry would fare against 2004 candidate kerry? >> it's one thing to be certain, but you can be certain and be wrong. it's another to be certain and be right or be certain and be moving in the right direction, or be certain about a principle and then learn new facts and take those new facts and put them to u

john mccain. we'll freeze the frame and redo. >> thank you.jon: let me ask yoa question hillary clinton last night that was quite the speech do you think she sewed up the nomination? >> you have to say she is a class act you have to say. she is great and she go the right thing. ithing. >>jon: it was an amazing speech. clinton speaking and it feels like everyone fears him. he is a very savvy politician but people are acting like he is literally going to walk up and unleash a string of profanity. as though he is a crazy person. >> only the cable guys are hoping for that. >> i think he is going to be. he is no colbe rest rt i mean. >>jon: touche. touche i say sir. do you have an inkling. >> he is nice guy and theiniebih to deal with foreign policy and nobody knows that more than bill clinton i think he will do a great job. >>jon: how about the experience thing. why they not awake for the past 8 years? i don't quite understand why nobody is bringing up the video clips of what they have said over the past 8 years. >> in wil there will be a lot oe for that. >>jon: what are you waiting for? >>

of its votes in 2008. he'd have gotten all the votes but 10 percen% of brooklynites d for john mccain ironically. [crowd cheering] and guess who has the gershwin's to represent new york ninth. none other than three-term congress woman yvette clarke. i sat down with congress woman clerk in her office. thank you for talking to us today. >> it's my pleasure. >> thank you to us about the fighting 11th or 9th, whatever it is. >> the fighting 11th congress number district needs to be the 9th congressional district. one of the most diverse districts in the nation. >> stephen: brooklyn is home to some musical rappers. are you a fan of the rapping. >> i am. >> stephen: i heard some say brooklyn is in the house. >> always. >> stephen: always, okay. is this a reference to you being in the house o house of represe. >> that's part of it. >> stephen: okay. let's talk about the hip hop community and let them know you're representing them in the -- >> i'm not a rapper. i'm really not a rapper. >> stephen: congressman represent. >> you out there, i'm representing you as representative. rep

the overall race. i do not think sarah palin helped john mccain, but i do not think anyone he picked held that election. people are going to vote for the person who is going to be president of the united states. can the vice president held? yes, but i think we overblow it, thinking it is going to alter the broad base. -- broad base. tavis: what is your sense of whether there is an international issue that might change this race? >> i always say if something they have been in existence, and you live with that uncertainty. that being said, i do not think that winds up being a new issue for most voters. i would say if you look at previous elections, a foreign- policy rises to the back burner issue. only times of relative domestic tranquillity as the economy seem to be doing well. other times foreign policy does not make it to the back burner. doesn't matter a little biscuits? sure, but i think this election is about the economy first, the economy second, the economy third, and anything else to be honest. tavis: good to have you on the show. thanks for your work. >> it is always a pleasure. t

points. these are not implausible assumptions. mitt romney would have to get double john mccain's margin of 18 points. could have to up to 36 points. that is if it does not change. d, ands does get realize if the white college graduates face about the same, it means that met romney would have to get north of 40 point margin of the white voter. let's take a look of where we are now. this is the gold standard. breaks. this shows that obama is leading by 8 points. if you look at the averages, it is a bit high. the averages are running about four points. you are probably up by five points. this is within the averages. it is similar to the pole from the heartland monitor which will talk about later. overall top line, a look at the margin, 91 points. that is basically identical. 7222 among 852 margin. most have been showing this. what this means is that the idea that obama could get 80% of the minority vote is quite logical based on these and other data that looks like what he will get. this shows you the break out for college graduates. , obama is doing a little bit better among white graduat

democrrtic &pexit polls from 2008 show 57% of white males voted for john mccain ... 41% percent for obbma. the latest numbers froo has slipped eight percentage points more with this group. has to increasingly rely on ma - voters who tend to beein his corner hispanic, blacc .... and young voters. and especially women.it was almost impossible for him to make a change in four years so i ttiik the next four years why not give him another channe see hat he can do for the middle class?i voted for president obama and i'll vote for him again. because i ddn't think ttat he's had enough time to correct the damage done by the republican party. i just feel that he needs the time. this coalitionnof voters holls the key to victory for president obama if he can persuade them to turnn out in big numbers and he sure is trying.i'm counting on you, (nats) i'm counting on you. i'mmcounting on you. if you are not registered to vote, then yyu've gotta go tt gotta-register-dot-com.that is with nascar voters who will overwhelmingly support mitt romney.(reporter: nascar enthusiasts more concerned about who wins

be a federal crime. he has been convicted to a state prison in virginia. >> john mccain got choked up while honoring a hero. >> i want to thank you my friend, my friend, for reminding me about courage. >> we are talking about someone very special. a democracy leader was given a medal. [applause] she was on a house arrest when she initially got the award in 2008. she got her work today. coming up, two powerful teams join forces to make your commute easier. >> the showdown over the >> the showdown >tapesthe showdown over tapes. barack obama talking in 1998 about his support about the redistribution of wealth appeared a key talking points for republicans. >> i believe in redistribution. at least at a certain level to make sure that everybody's got a shot. >> tonight, the white house is not commenting on this tape. also, mitt romney's wife was saying her husband was taken out of context. this is about him not being word about the 47 americans -- 47% of americans. >> if you listen to everything he says, he is talking about what we are facing america. if we do not take corrective measures soon,

or reverential. and for their first national security speech at the convention, they brought on john mccain. john mccain who drew a straight line from george w. bush foreign policy to today. >> by committing to withdraw from afghanistan before peace can be achieved and sustained, the president has discouraged our friends and emboldened our enemies. >> cutting and running. why stop at 13 years of war when you can just stay indefinitely? senator mccain said we should not end the war in afghanistan. he also called for new american military intervention in syria and iran. because he is john mccain and that's what he does. >> that old -- that old beach boy song, bomb iran. you know, bomb, bomb, bomb. >> you seeing him there doesn't mean this is their current way of thinking. maybe they just gave the old bomb, bomb, bomb iran guy one more spin around the parking lot, because they were too embarrassed to disinvite him from their convention, maybe. maybe not. when mitt romney, the nominee himself, took the stage, his tone on foreign policy was the same kind of straight line from george w. bush that john

, a remarkable career. and we're also going to talk to senator john mccain who knew him personally. jill and jomana, we'll check in with you. this is a story with a lot of moving parts, and a lot of countries with unseen dimensions, which is why we want to bring in princeton university anne-marie slaughter. until recently she served. and also cnn's chief international correspondent christiane amanpour, and this points to the powder keg of the region, the difficulty of operating here. what do you make of this? i mean, do you see it escalating? >> well, i'm concerned what's happening in egypt right now. it looks like in the libya situation, in benghazi, tripoli, they're fairly under control. we had the tragedy. the ambassador and three others killed. but in egypt, it seems to be gathering steam again as you reported at the top of the program, and that does worry me. in egypt, it's linked to the film. who knows what could happen. and i know leaders around the world in tunisia, afghanistan, algeria, are very concerned that they're going to see the last time there was this kind of encitement

. he was lucky to run against john mccain who declared the state of the economy strong when lehman fell. with the economy weak is obama lucky again that business with mitt romney has changed the subject? i'm chris matthews. with us david ignatius. the bbc's katty kay, "the new york times'" helene cooper and national journal major garrett. foreign policy is the defining issue in this most critical presidential election. barack obama is a democratic president who holds the high ground on national security and that became a problem for governor romney in his charge that the president projects weakness to america's enemies. when he got the nobel peace prize at the beginning of his term, the president decided to use that stage to make clear that even though he was elected as an opponent of the iraq war, he does not shrink from using power in the muslim world. >> religion is used to justify the murder of innocents by those who have distorted and defiled the great religion of islam. and who attacked my country. i face the world as it is. and cannot stand idle in the face of threats to the amer

you this. when i won in 2008, 47 percent of the american people voted for john mccain. they did not vote for me. what i said on election night was even though you did not vote for me i hear your voices. i'm going to work as hard as i can to be your president. and when of the things that i've learned is you represent the entire country. when i need republicans, as i'm traveling around the country they are hard- working family people. they care deeply about this country and my expectation is if you want to be president you have to work for everyone, not just for some. the president will spend a rare full day at the white house today. a new poll released show likely voters in california show preference over obama. berkeley shows 50 percent of president beat republican john mccain and 2008. just missing the space shuttle as a reporter arrived. had it out to california. the shuttle stop in houston before heading out to california. over the bay area for a low pass on friday. danville virginia where paul ryan will be holding a rally today. mitt romney will be holding a fund raiser no r

citizens to john mccain. if he can neutralize that or reduce his margin, he's in much better shape. gwen: even though the enthusiasm of yuck people is not what it was four years ago. >> you ran that clip of governor romney talking about throwing in the towel. this is a collie slay in politics. the tea party movement worked from the outside to the inside. the whole notion is silly. why did he jump on it? he's kind of jumping on everything. why did he jump on it? what they see in their focus groups is obama voters from 2008 disappointed in the president who think he's just kind of stuck. he can't make things better. so the feeling is out there and now they're trying to say you see, he thinks he's stuck. gwen: wasn't that the danger in the immigration question? you promised you were going to do this and you didn't. that's a risky place for the president. >> and more than 70% of hispanics in colorado supports the president, but that is one issue where with them he didn't deliver. >> i can tell you nationally, barack obama is up 40 points with hispanic voters. barry: go -- gwen: i thought als

republican senator john mccain, and then the risk of being the frontrunner with obama's senior advisor david axelrod. plus, polls, ads, and early voting. with republican strategist alex castellanos, and cinderella and congressional correspondent dana bash. i'm candy crowley. this is "state of the union." >>> it would not be debate season if the political world and the campaigns didn't play the expectations game. >> the president is obviously a very eloquent, gifted speaker. he will do just fine. >> the president's campaign manager jim mecina called romney a very skilled debater and in an open memo to interested parties, senior advisor david axelroad just as he was in the primaries, we expect mitt romney to be a prepared, disciplined, and aggressive debater. joining me now is someone who knows a thing or two about expectations and debates, republican senator john mccain. a little trip down memory lane there. >> i think both candidates are well prepared, and understandably, you'll see their sur gats lowering expectations. i don't know how our guy will compete, and that's part of the whole rout

the attack on the consulate in libya and conflicting comments from the white house. john mccain is here to weigh in on both. welcome, everyone, i am neil cavuto and this is the scene in pakistan today. not a great scene. police firing live ammunition at protesters, throwing rocks and it gets worst after torching a theater, 15 killed, dozens injured, the protesters were fueled by the antimohammed video that the president referred to when asked about the libya attack that left our arch and three other americans dead. >> what we have seen the last week or week and a half is something that actually we have seen in the past where there is an offensive video or cartoon directed at the prophet mohammed. this is, obviously, something that is used by an excuse by some to carry out inexcusable violent acts directed at westerners or americans. >>neil: that came on the heels therefore statement from white house press secretary jake carney and i quote, "it is self-evident that what happened in beach gaza was a terrorist attack, our embassy was attacked violently." but that followed this. >> these pr

: uh-huh. >> when john mccain tried to suspend his campaign. joe scarborough tweeted out that he had been inundated from emails and calls from elected gop leaders who think romney's response was a mistake. you have peggy nunan saying i don't believe that mr. romney has been doing himself any favor lately. ben smith if you think the eye rolling at romney is just coming from the main stream media, call up some republican foreign policy hands. >> john: i heard john sununu himself. >> this is a problem for romney. what he is doing now, when he is trying to appeal to the right-wing evangelical base by making it clear that he really doesn't like muslims. it's all a play of desperation. it's why he put paul ryan on his ticket. look at what has happened over the last several weeks. republicans had their convention, democrats had theirs democrats got a bump, republicans didn't get a bump, mitt romney and the super pacs pulled out of pennsylvania and michigan. he announced that he was going -- right after obama gave his speech in charlotte, he said -- he was going after sw

his reports to john mccain who finally said something? >> john mccain said something earlier on, but it was in the line of what president obama said, saying we need to stay engaged in these countries which is quite a contrast to what mitt romney did. you also look at paul ryan trying to solidify this, and i think most americans when they look at this, they shake their heads. they say, this is a time for unity, especially when americans have fallen overseas and we really shouldn't try to play politics with these instances. >> brian katulis, thank you for joining us from wisconsin and enjoy the rest of your weekend. >> reporter: you, too. >>> typhoon sanba making its way in japan. where it's heading next. we're in cereal heaven. so thanks. from the mcgregors, 'cause we love chex. so thanks. from the mcgregors, hey america, even though slisa rinna is wearing the new depend silhouette briefs for charity to prove how great the fit is even under a fantastic dress. the best protection now looks, fits and feels just like underwear. we invite you to get a free sample and try one on too.

the coalition did not support, that john mccain/kennedy did not support, yet when it came to the election, john mccain did horrible with latino voters and felt abandoned by the group he felt he had been fighting for, and probably one of the most negative eds their opinion 2008 was a spanish language and then try to link john mccain to the use of rush limbaugh, not even fairly taken -- taking the views of rush limbaugh into context, and he hates the john mccain, but he abandoned immigration reform after the election, and frankly, just talking about the principles, how could you blame him? >> i would say his party abandoned him. we saw in the primaries leading up to the nomination, you had rudy guiliani trying to outdo each other in terms of extreme rhetoric that was anti-locking all. it was a weight that he could not overcome as he was headed into the nomination and he realized he could not fulfil the positions he had taken early on and had no choice. i think this is a reflection of the republican party been at great odds in terms of how reconcile engage in the latino community and dealing with

much. [cheers] [applause] [cheers] [applause] [cheers] ♪ ♪ ♪ >> john mccain hosts the first of three veterans for romney town hall meetings in new hampshire. senator mccain won presidential primaries in the state in 2000 and 2008 when he ran for the republican nomination. also, kelly ayotte. this is about 45 minutes. [applause] i believed you in the pledge of allegiance. i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible. with liberty and justice for all. all right, this is a town hall meeting. john mccain is no stranger. i've had the pleasure of being on another presidential campaign in the year 2000. [inaudible] [laughter] john mccain came back to new hampshire years later to see more friends and people who remembered the wonderful campaign. prior to that, is not only the military, but a public service of the united states. i figure governor romney should be honored to have senator mccain on his behalf to talk about the significance of differences between republicans and democrats into the way

counsel to john mccain during the senator's presidential campaigns in 2000 and again in 2008. t trevor potter is with the law firm of caplin and drysdale in washington, and he's the founding president of the campaign legal center, that's a non-partisan group committed to "representing the public interest in enforcement of campaign and media law." all very impressive, but let's face it, these days trevor potter's greatest claim to fame is as the man who keeps stephen colbert out of jail. he advised colbert on how to create his own super pac and then to set up his more clandestine 501 (c) (4). take a look. >> so how do i gets me one, trevor? >> well, lawyers often form delaware corporations, which we call shell corporations, that just sit there until they're needed. >> like, so some anonymous shell corporation? >> right. and, and i happen to have one here in my briefcase. >> let's see it. >> so -- >> okay, what's it called? >> it's called, "anonymous shell corporation." >> "anonymous shell corporation" filed in delaware? okay, i got this. so now, now i have a (c) (4)? >> right. now we ne

for a big moment that voters will remember. >> joe the plumber. >> reporter: like john mccain's invitation of an ohio plumber who questioned mr. obama's tax plan four years ago. >> in the third debate, john mccain repeatedly alluded to joe the plumber, and the allegation that barack obama #-r would share the wealth. >> reid: jamieson says that gave mccain a boost in the polls, but as mccain later learned, even a memorable debate moment carries a candidate only so far. the live tv audience for the first obama-romney debate is expected to be about 60 million people. that's roughly half the number expected to vote in the election. the combination of shrinking finances and rising crime is forcing drastic change on camden, new jersey, a small city just across the delaware from philadelphia. tony guida has the details of a reorganization plan that would take veteran cops off the beat permanently. >> reporter: if camden had its own postcards, the picture would look look a lot like this-- police responding to the scene of a crime. with just 77,000 residents and 1500 violent crimes and 48 murders t

seem to be supporting mitt romney at around the same levels they supported john mccain, so that's very high, so that's good news for governor romney. catholics seem to be more divided as they were last time around although some new numbers this week suggest that they are leaning more towards obama as they did in the last election. i was surprised to see this week numbers suggesting that mainline protestants, who went principally for john mccain last time around or slightly more for john mccain are -- more of them are leaning towards obama this time around. >> is there any, is there anything at all in the data to suggest that romney's religion is making any difference? >> reporter: well, in these snapshots that we have right now it doesn't appear to be the case. some people had wondered if evangelicals would not be supporting him because he's a mormon and some evangelicals are concerned about that, had raised concerns about voting for a mormon candidate. doesn't appear to be that way, however, people have to get to the polls for it to actually matter, you know, turnout is what counts. i

election. republican presidential nominee john mccain took the bold step of suspending his campaign in order to head back to d.c. to work on the crisis. the mccain campaign tried to sell that decision as a country-first, patriotic, bigger-than-politics kind of move, but john mccain ultimately did not really have anything of substance to say about the financial crisis when he got back to washington. he did not seem to contribute mine meaningfully to any proposed solution. and for him to suspend his campaign to go back and essentially being seen sitting mutely in rooms where things were being decided without him smacked of political desperation and it was downhill for his campaign from there until the end. not like there was no suspense on election night, but somewhere between this time four years ago and election night, it just started to feel lick ke it was over for john mccain. and never more so when republican foreign policy stalwart colin powell went on mete the press and officially endorsed barack obama over the man from his own party. >> i think he is a transformational figure.

acuerdo en otras. john mccain y estamos en desacuerdo en muchas cosas, pero Él estaba de acuerdo con la reforma migratoria integral. y hay una tradiciÓn en el partido republicano, de hacer lo correcto en esto. y ha sido desde que asumÍ la presidencia, que vimos que los republicanos del senado y ahora los de la cÁmara se resisten. bueno, yo creo que la comunidad latina, reconoce eso, y cuando uno mira las medidas que hemos tomado, no solo para abrirle a los soÑadores la educaciÓn diferida. y hemos rirvisto una gran respua de personas que estÁn solicitando y que estamos pr estamosprocesando rÁpidamente y cuando ven el cambio, que hemos tomado en el cumplimento de la ley migratoria, vamos a centrarnos en aquellos que cometen ak trifdes criminales y no los que crean familias y que son parte de nuestras comunidades. hemos hecho lo que hemos podido administrativamente y yo, tengo la predicciÓn, que luego, de las elecciones, muchos republicanos, van a reconocer que en el pasado, hemos ido por la vÍa equivocada y que tenemos que tomar un nuevo rumbo y no solo por motivos polÍticos. es
